You mean beyond flogging?

Our county had a defense attorney ask to have his expert view a couple of hard drives that were in evidence at the police department. Not long after this happened, one of the hard drives mysteriously became worthless (the only fortunate aspect of this was that the hard drives were not essential evidence to the crime charged). The expert he used? His CLIENT. It was only by accident that our office later found out (the evidence tech happened to be at the court house and point out the "expert"). The district courts in our county have removed this attorney from the court appointment list. Don't know what other sanctions are following.

why not issue a supena DT,

also file expert notice, and get the report and why not file a motion to have the evidence tested by your expert. I do not see anything that would preclude that has it is physical evidence and therefore not testimony
